Chapter 770 Azure Dragon Crescent Blade
After parting ways with Cynthia, Li Shuwen returned to the Veiled Dojo.
On the night of the full moon, the backyard was brightly lit.
Li Shuwen stood in the center of the venue, in front of a huge stone platform.
The stone platform was covered with a dark blue velvet cloth, on which various precious materials were placed.
Dragon scales, dragon teeth, dragon claws—each piece glows with a faint luminescence, proof that the dragon's energy flows in its slumber.
The dragon scales come from the Viper, the Kommo-o, and the Garchomp. Each scale is carefully selected, with just the right thickness, luster, and energy fluctuations.
Dragon Fangs come from Dragonite, Flygon, and Altaria; they are as sharp as daggers and reflect a cold, gleaming light under the lamp.
The dragon claws come from the three-headed dragon, the double-axe war dragon, curved like hooks, and the claws are still sharp enough to cut through rocks.
There are also various rare minerals.
In the very center of the stone platform, in a transparent container, were eighty-two drops of dark golden liquid.
Rayquaza's Dragon Blood!
Each drop contains the supreme power of the Sky Dragon, flowing slowly in the container, occasionally creating ripples, as if it were still alive.
Uncle Zhongying stood beside the stone platform, his eyes gleaming. He looked at the materials and then at Li Shuwen.
"Are you sure you want to cast this? Any one piece of these materials would be enough for someone to use for a lifetime. If you throw it all in and it fails..."
Li Shuwen nodded. "Confirmed."
Uncle Tsukasa laughed heartily, "Good, you haven't let me down in teaching you the art of forging. Tonight, let's join forces and forge a true divine weapon."
Millerton stood on the east side of the training field, purple currents leaping across his body.
Xi Cui Nian Mei Lu Long stood on the west side, her whole body gleaming like pearls under the lights.
The Staff-tailed Armored Dragon stood on the north side, its scales shimmering with a faint metallic light.
Three dragon Pokémon, releasing three different dragon energies simultaneously.
Millerton discharges electricity, and golden arcs of electricity, like dragons, intertwine in the air to form a power grid.
The water from the Washing Jade Dragon Sprayer condenses into a thin stream, precisely pouring it onto the material on the stone platform.
The Staff-tailed Armored Dragon breathes fire, and the crimson flames ignite the material the moment the water line touches it, perfectly fusing water and fire.
Water and fire mingled, dragons and lightning intertwined. The materials on the stone platform began to melt.
The dragon scales turned into a silvery-white liquid, the dragon teeth melted into a milky-white slurry, and the dragon claws became a dark golden molten flow.
The ore exploded at high temperatures, releasing a rainbow of colors.
Eighty-two drops of dragon blood from the Sky Piercer floated up from the container, swirling in the air like dark golden stars.
Li Shuwen's foundry hammer fell.
Ding.
The first hammer blow struck the dragon scale liquid, and the silvery-white liquid splashed up, drawing thin strands in the air.
Ding ding.
The dragon tooth slurry and the dragon claw melt began to merge.
Ding ding ding.
The hammering grew more frequent and urgent, like a torrential downpour hitting a tin roof.
Chaotic Cloak Hammer Technique!
Li Shuwen's wave-guiding power surged forth like a tide, guiding the molten materials to take shape according to his will.
Dragon scales are the bones, dragon teeth are the blades, dragon claws are the sharpness, ore is the flesh, and dragon blood is the soul.
Eighty-two drops of dragon blood were absorbed into the blade, one by one. With each drop absorbed, the blade became brighter and emitted a deep hum.
The buzzing sound wasn't the vibration of metal, but the roar of a dragon.
The full moon hangs high in the sky.
Moonlight streamed through the skylight of the training ground, falling on the stone platform and onto the blade that was taking shape.
The blade began to absorb the moonlight, and the silvery-white light intertwined with the dark golden dragon blood, forming cloud patterns on the blade.
Cloud patterns, like dragons, meander along the blade.
The final hammer fell.
bite--!!!
A beam of azure light shot up from the blade, tearing through the dome of the training ground and soaring into the sky.
The full moon's light dimmed before the blue light, and the clouds in the sky were torn apart by the blue light into a huge vortex.
The roar of a dragon emanated from the blade, not just one sound, but a thousand sounds intertwined together.
The dragon's roar, soaring through the clouds, merged into one, echoing across the night sky.
The wind and clouds changed color, and the full moon lost its light.
The residents of Veiled City scrambled to their windows and peer out, witnessing the soaring blue light and hearing the deafening roar of a dragon.
Some people were so scared they shrank back, some took pictures excitedly, and some thought it was Pokémon fighting.
The azure light slowly faded, and the dragon's roar gradually subsided. On the stone platform, a long sword lay quietly.
The blade is three feet seven inches long, entirely silver-white, with dark gold cloud patterns flowing on it.
The back of the blade is thick like a dragon's spine, and the tip is slightly upturned, like a crescent moon.
The knife has an ancient and majestic design, and the cloud patterns on the blade move slowly under the moonlight, as if a dragon is sleeping inside.
Li Shuwen stepped forward and gripped the knife handle with both hands.
In that instant, the blade emitted a clear, resonant hum, and the cloud patterns on its surface suddenly lit up, the dark golden light intertwining with the silvery-white blade gleam.
He felt a warm power flow from the hilt of the sword into his palm, spreading upwards along his meridians and resonating with the wave-guiding power within his body.
Uncle Tsukasa stared at the knife in silence for a long time. "A fine knife."
His voice was a little hoarse, "I've forged swords my whole life, and I've never seen anything like this. This is a true divine weapon!"
Uncle Tsukasa paused for a moment, then said, "But in this era, there are not many opportunities for divine weapons to unleash their power."
Li Shuwen gripped the knife, offering no reply.
On the training field, Kommo-o-Tai stood opposite, its scales gleaming metallically in the moonlight.
His eyes were full of excitement, his claws were slightly open, and his tail swayed gently.
Li Shuwen, holding the Green Dragon Crescent Blade, stood opposite it.
The cloud patterns on the blade moved slowly in the moonlight, occasionally emitting a low hum.
"Come on," Li Shuwen said.
The staff-tailed armored dragon charged forward, its claws glowing with a ghostly purple light.
Li Shuwen swung his sword, and with a flash of light, a blue glow pierced the night sky.
The blade clashed with the dragon claw, but there was no loud clang of metal against metal; only a soft hum.
The blade sliced through the energy shield on the dragon's claws and scales, splitting its scales in two.
The Staff-tailed Armored Dragon looked down at the wound, its eyes wide.
Its scales were torn open.
"Use Iron Wall against the Staff-Tailed Scaled Dragon," Li Shuwen said.
The Staff-tailed Armored Dragon took a deep breath, and its scales shone with a metallic luster.
Iron wall.
It charged again, its dragon claws faster and more ferocious than before.
Li Shuwen swung his sword, and a blue light once again pierced the night sky.
This time, the blade pierced the scales again, and the Staff-tailed Armored Dragon's body swayed slightly.
"Again, Iron Wall," Li Shuwen said.
The scales of the Staff-tailed Armored Dragon lit up again.
The second Iron Wall doubles the defensive power.
It charged forward, its dragon claws brimming with ferocious power.
Li Shuwen swung his sword, the blade flashing like a blue dragon emerging from the sea. The blade clashed with the dragon's claws, creating a shockwave.
The Staff-tailed Armored Dragon took a step back and looked down at its claws.
A cut was made in the scales on its claws, and blood seeped out.
It raised its head, its eyes showing no pain, only an even more intense excitement.
Three Iron Walls.
The scales of the Staff-tailed Armored Dragon were so bright they were almost blinding, its defensive capabilities maximized.
It stood in the center of the arena, its claws outstretched, its tail held high, and its entire body of scales glowing.
Li Shuwen swung his blade, the Green Dragon Crescent Blade drawing an arc in the air before slashing into the chest of the Staff-Tailed Scaled Dragon.
This time, the blade only cut into the scales by a third of an inch before getting stuck.
The muscles of the Staff-tailed Armored Dragon tensed, clamping the blade in place and preventing it from penetrating any further.
Li Shuwen sheathed his sword and took a step back. "Three Iron Walls, barely enough to defend against."
The Kommo-o-Tai looked down at the shallow wound on its chest, licked it with its tongue, and then raised its head to look at Li Shuwen.
Its eyes burned with light.
It roared to the sky, slammed its claws on the ground, and charged towards Li Shuwen. Its meaning was crystal clear.
You're not allowed to leave until you've had your fill.
Li Shuwen's lips curled into a smile. "Okay."
The blade flashed like a dragon, and the claws moved like the wind.
The Scaled Dragon's claws, iron tail, and close-quarters combat came wave after wave, like a raging storm.
Li Shuwen's Green Dragon Crescent Blade seemed to come alive in his hands, its blade slicing through the air with the roar of a dragon, drawing streaks of green light in the sky.
He wasn't slashing randomly; he was "modifying his blade"—every strike aimed at the Kommo-o'-the-Tailed Dragon's vital points, yet all avoided fatal ones.
One slash landed on the shoulder, another on the waist, another across the spine, and another on the knee.
The Scaled Dragon's body was covered with shallow wounds, each one shallow but each one incredibly precise.
It was "modified" to the point of being covered in marks, yet it became more and more excited as it was beaten.
Uncle Tsukasa stood on the sidelines, watching the blue blade light dance in the moonlight and listening to the dragon's roar, and let out a long breath.
"Divine weapons are suited to divine men."
He turned and walked towards the door, his steps much lighter than when he came.
a few days later.
The morning in Veiled City was shattered by a piercing alarm.
Chief Gordon's voice came through the police communications channel, hoarse and urgent.
"Attention all officers! Attention all officers!—Curtain Bank has been robbed!"
"The criminal's codename is 'Rhino,' and he controls an Aggron, wearing alloy armor with extremely high defense!"
"Please request immediate backup from nearby officers!"
The area in front of the bank was a mess. Large craters had been smashed into the ground, and glass doors were shattered everywhere.
The ATMs were uprooted and scattered on the street.
Several police Pokémon lay unconscious on the ground.
Chief Gordon stood behind the police car, veins bulging on his forehead.
"That Aggron's alloy armor is too tough! Our Pokémon can't even scratch it!"
His Arcanine, with its full-power Flame Fang, only left a shallow scorch mark on the armor.
The police officer's Thunder Beast struck the armor with 100,000 volts, but not even a spark was ignited.
Another large wolfhound's bite nearly broke its teeth.
The rhinoceros stood at the bank entrance, holding a bulging canvas bag full of banknotes.
He wore a black hood, revealing only his eyes, which shone with a triumphant and arrogant light.
His Aggron stood in front of him, its entire body covered in silver-white alloy armor.
The armor was not ordinary sheet metal, but forged from a special alloy, with a smooth, mirror-like surface that reflected a cold light in the sunlight.
The armor's joints are equipped with hydraulic systems, and each movement is accompanied by a hissing sound of air pressure. These systems not only enhance Bossdora's defense but also significantly increase its power.
"Gordon, don't bother!" Rhino's voice came from behind the mask.
"Your Pokémon can't even scratch my Aggron's skin! You think you can catch me? Dream on!"
Bosscodora roared to the sky, clashing its fists together with a dull, metallic clang.
It raised its foot and stomped heavily on the ground. With a loud bang, a large crater was blown open in the ground, and cracks spread outwards.
Without hesitation, Chief Gordon grabbed the walkie-talkie. "Mr. Li Shuwen, requesting backup! Veil Bank, Rhino and Aggron, Alloy Armor, our Pokémon can't take them down!"
Just then, a figure rushed out from around the street corner.
He is Peter, Li Shuwen's disciple.
Alidos' eight legs crawled swiftly along the wall, moving as fast as a black lightning bolt.
"Ariados, Sticky Web!" Peter shouted.
Alidos opened his mouth, and a clump of sticky white silk sprayed out, precisely smearing it onto Bosscodora's leg.
Bosscodora looked down at the web and tried to lift its leg, but the web was so sticky that it stuck its leg firmly to the ground.
It pulled hard, and the net was stretched, but it didn't break.
The rhinoceros's expression changed. "Bosso, break free!"
The hydraulic system of the Boscodora hissed as its power suddenly increased.
It suddenly lifted its leg, pulling the sticky net off the ground, along with a large section of asphalt.
But Ariados had already sprayed out a second, third, and fourth ball of sticky netting, binding all of Bosscodora's limbs.
Peter smiled and said, "Big guy, try this."
Less than two and a half minutes later, Millerton descended from the sky.
Purple electric currents jumped across its surface, ionizing the surrounding air.
Li Shuwen rode on Milton's back, holding the Green Dragon Crescent Blade in his hand.
The cloud patterns on the blade moved slowly in the sunlight, the dark golden light intertwining with the silvery-white blade gleam.
He was wearing an ordinary black training suit, but sitting on Millerton's back, he looked like a god of war.
The rhinoceros raised its head and looked at the purple figure descending from the sky, its pupils slightly contracting.
But he quickly regained his composure, a mocking smile playing on his lips. "Li Shuwen, the Midas Touch? Ha, I've heard you're quite skilled. But what use are cold weapons in your time?"
He patted Bosscodora's alloy armor. "A piece of junk can't compare to my high-tech alloy armor?"
Boscodora roared to the sky, its hydraulic system operating at full power, the hissing sound of the air pressure deafening.
Its body glowed with a silvery-white light, and its power doubled with the amplification of its armor.
It lifted its foot and stomped on the ground, creating a crater several meters in diameter.
Its two fists collided, and the loud sound of metal colliding was like thunder.
Li Shuwen did not answer.
He gently patted Milton's neck, and Milton understood, rushing towards Boscodor.
Li Shuwen slowly raised the Green Dragon Crescent Blade in his hand.
The cloud patterns on the blade began to glow, the dark golden light intertwining with the silvery-white blade light, condensing into a cyan arc of light on the blade's edge.
"Thunderous Half-Moon Slash!"
The rhinoceros chuckled dismissively. "That's it? Aggron, Iron Wall! Let him see what real defense is!"
Boscodor's armor gleamed with a metallic sheen, and the hydraulic system locked, maximizing the armor's defensive capabilities.
It stood there, like a silver-white steel fortress, unshakeable.
Li Shuwen swung his knife, the blade drawing a graceful arc in the air from bottom to top.
The blade flashed like a blue dragon emerging from the sea, a vast expanse of blue light.
In that instant, everyone heard a dragon's roar, like the howl of an ancient dragon.
A blue light swept across Bosscodora's chest, from his left shoulder to his right abdomen.
Time seemed to stand still.
The rhinoceros's smile froze on his face. Chief Gordon's mouth was agape, and he forgot to close it.
Peter stood on the street corner, his eyes wide open.
A crack appeared in the alloy armor on Bosscodora's chest.
The seam ran from the upper left to the lower right, its edges as smooth as a mirror, the cut so neat it looked as if it had been measured with a ruler.
The hydraulic fluid seeped out of the crack, and the hissing sound of air pressure turned into a hissing sound of air leakage.
The armor slid off Bosscodora and crashed to the ground with a thud, splitting in two.
Aggron's main body remained completely unharmed.
The blade sliced through the armor precisely, but did not harm the Bosscodora inside in the slightest.
Li Shuwen's swordsmanship had reached a level of unparalleled mastery, where he could control his movements with complete freedom.
The rhinoceros's eyes were wide open like copper bells, and its mouth was agape, but it couldn't utter a single word.
He looked at the two halves of the armor that had been cut open on the ground, and then at the Green Dragon Crescent Blade in Li Shuwen's hand.
The cloud patterns on the blade were still slowly moving, and the dark golden light flowed across the edge, as if mocking his ignorance.
"Impossible...impossible..." His voice trembled. "How could this piece of junk...cut through my alloy armor..."
Li Shuwen sheathed his sword, the tip pointing diagonally at the ground.
He looked down at the rhinoceros, his gaze calm as still water.
"My mighty Green Dragon Crescent Blade has actually slain you, you coward."
